What are AI credits and how do they work?

Credits are a virtual currency in Xmind that allow you to use AI-powered features such as generating mind maps, creating to-do lists, and expanding ideas based on selected topics. Credits are consumed each time you use an AI feature. The number of credits required mainly depends on your specific request, as well as the length and complexity of the content to be generated. For example, generating ideas for a single topic may use 2–4 credits, while creating an entire mind map may take 3–6 credits, depending on how detailed and extensive it is. Xmind Premium/Business plans include a monthly credit allowance. You can buy extra credits add-ons for $3.99 per 500 credits. Unused subscription credits reset monthly, but credits purchased as add-ons do not expire. For team plans, only the Team Owner or Admin can purchase credit add-ons.
